Abstract

In his book Artificial Intimacy, evolutionary biologist Rob Brooks provides yet another example of an attempt to use upcoming technology advances to provide a solution to grievances expressed by the Incel (Involuntarily celibate) community. While countering the Incel movement is important, since they have recently begun to engage in acts of domestic terrorism, sex technology cannot provide any sort of solution to the problem they represent, regardless of how advanced that technology becomes. This essay aims to make that clear and end such approaches more generally.

为什么性技术不能解决乱伦问题

进化生物学家罗布·布鲁克斯(Rob Brooks)在他的著作《人工亲密关系》(Artificial Intimacy)中提供了另一个例子，试图利用即将到来的技术进步，为Incel(非自愿独身者)群体表达的不满提供解决方案。虽然打击Incel运动很重要，但由于他们最近开始参与国内恐怖主义行为，性技术无法为他们所代表的问题提供任何解决方案，无论技术变得多么先进。本文旨在澄清这一点，并更普遍地结束这种方法。
